About Us

Chicago’s Trusted Junk Removal Service

For over ten years, 1-800-Junk-Relief has been Chicagoland’s go-to junk removal service, with the expertise and equipment to tackle any of your junk removal needs.

Since launching in 2004 as Metropolitan Clean-Out and Haul-Away Service, we have quickly expanded both our services and service area to meet the needs of thousands of homeowners, contractors, and businesses.

Our Standards

When it comes to junk removal, most people don’t tend to think about who comes to haul away their unwanted items — as long as the junk is gone. It’s one thing to remove junk, but it’s another matter entirely with demolishing bigger items or handling bigger projects. Our 1-800-Junk-Relief crew is highly experienced with many types of junk removal situations and will work diligently to get your space cleared out. Wouldn’t you rather feel comfortable about who’s coming to your home or office?

We stand out from competitors with our uniformed workers and a fleet of well-maintained trucks in a variety of sizes to match your project’s needs. You may think, “Well, it’s only junk removal,” but we aim to provide the best white-glove service in an unpolished industry.

1-800-Junk-Relief holds all workers to professional standards and ensures that the workspace is always clean after the job is done. After all, we want to help you get rid of all that junk and clutter — not add more to it!

Trust in us to leave without a trace. You can expect your home or business to be clean (and more spacious!) after we’ve hauled away your unwanted items. Our attention to detail, along with efficient removal practices and premier customer service, has made us Chicago’s first choice for junk removal.

Junk Removal, No Matter The Size

Large items can be dangerous to move by yourself and small piles of junk can add up to be a major pain. At 1-800-Junk-Relief, ingenuity is the name of the game.

Whether you need to dispose of a large single item like a hot tub or need to clean out and haul away the junk from an entire home or building — we can make it happen. Best of all, you only pay for what we haul away. We want to make sure that you get the best value for your money, which is why our junk removal pricing is based on cubic yards.

We take special care in disassembling and removing large items, whether it’s a hot tub, piano, couch, or even a bulky pool table (as seen in the time-lapse video below).

If you’ve got junk that you don’t know how to get rid of, just give us a call and we’ll take care of it for you.

Eco-Friendly Junk Removal

Thinking green? So are we! Our dedication to efficient junk removal leaves as small an impact on the environment as possible. We focus on recycling or donating as much of the material we haul away as we can — and make sure to proper dispose of anything that we can’t. In fact, we donate gently-used furniture, clothes, toys, and other items to local Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, and Goodwill charity organizations. 1-800-Junk Relief’s partnerships with ReBuilding Exchange and Lakeshore Recycling Systems also ensure that any leftover construction debris is repurposed or broken down and recycled. After it goes through our 10,000 sq/ft sorting warehouse, your unwanted trash could very well become someone else’s treasure!
